Using electron configurations, explain why the halogens readily react with the alkali metals to form salts

Chemistry

Alika [10]3 years ago

Halogen react with alkali metals because of their valence electrons. Halogens are just one electron short of being a stable wanna be "noble gas" so they "take or borrow" an electron. alkali metals have one too many valence electrons to be a noble gas, so they "give or lend" an electron.

this is why they are so compatible.
EXAMPLE

NaCl= Na+ +Cl-

Sodium(Na) "gives" its extra electron in order to become stable and Chlorine(Cl) "takes" Na extra electron in order to become stable

In order to predict the outcome of the reaction, write the molecular, full ionic, and net ionic equations for a mixture of aqueo
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Full molecular equation;

2NH3(aq) + AgNO3(aq) -------> [Ag(NH3)2]NO3(aq)

Full ionic equation

2NH3(aq) + Ag^+(aq) + NO3^-(aq) --------> [Ag(NH3)2]^+(aq) + NO3^-(aq)

Net ionic equation;

2NH3(aq) + Ag^+(aq) -------->  [Ag(NH3)2]^+(aq)

When Silver nitrate is mixed with a solution of aqueous ammonia, a white and cloudy solution was observed.

Doping Se with P would produce a(n) ________ semiconductor with ____________ conductivity compared to pure Se.
deff fn [24]
Doping Se (group VI elements) with P(group V)elements would produce a P-TYPE semiconductor with HIGHER conductivity compared to pure Se

the reason is P dopant will introduce holes in the Se as P has lesser valence electron

III. For the following four sections: If you are given the formula, name the
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

15.Potassium oxide

16.Calcium chloride

17.Aluminium sulphide

18.CaS

Explanation:

15.K is the chemical symbol of Potassium and generally the name of the non-metal at the end of a formula has the suffix '-ide' and since O is oxygen, the name becomes Potassium oxide.

16. The same applies here. Ca is Calcium and Cl is Chlorine but since its the non-metal at the end, it ends in -ide. So Calcium chloride.

17.The same applies here too. Al is Aluminium and S is Sulphur so Aluminium sulphide.

18. Calcium's symbol is Ca and that of Sulphur is S and that gives the formula CaS.
